This scenic patch of waterfront is the location of Victoria's many tourist attractions, recreational activities, restaurants and shopping. For a special treat, have afternoon tea at the grand Empress Hotel or board a ferry for a harbor tour.

The inner harbor area of Victoria is enjoyable to wander and take in the many sights. The ships in the harbor, watching floatplanes take off and land, stay or visit the Empress Hotel, and tour the Parliament building. We took a floatplane tour of the greater Victoria area and the views of the harbor from the plane were unbeatable!
